Well here is some of the Master's decals. Mr Hairycanary made me these smoking hot decals. I hope I can get some more in the future because I been doing a lot of decal work lately and his are by far the easiest to work with and look awsome.  Also seen on this car are decals from plymouth71. Some of you may know him from Hobby Talk. He made the GS Stage1 and some others seen here too.  |

Ya think bud? haha I been in the game since I was 4. Yhat was in 1969. It's been a while. I grew up in brooklyn, buying at Buzzerama and Hobby Hut, along with Reds and Great Eastern. Then in Ststen Island through the 80's and 90's and now in jersey for the past 10 years. This is where I planned the room. I did a rip off on the roof and put an extra 6 sheets of plywood anticipating my track. It took me 9 years and since jan 2010 I been putting it all together. Only been a little over a year up there now. I have 3 tracks now and am planning another strip to test for the proxy races. Yes I need to test my cars here and want to leave the 20.7 ft inch side for itself. I think the lenght is 15 ft 3 in right? |

So this is what I was up to this morning. Wife was in bed hungover so BONUS SLOT TIME!!!!!:hat: Right to Sky High I go!!!!:drunk: Ok so with all the newer resin cast 4 gear stuff going around, I had to figure out on my own to make my own wheels. I had Jim sgrig's send me a set allready done so I had to just kinda copy what he did. It went a lot smoother than I thought it would. Although I don't know if these would be good enough to actually race. I don't have any kind of a truer here. Going by eye for now. Either Bill or Randy had an awsome tutorial on how to do this. Here's what I got: 1 new hobby knife with fat black handle to cut the plastic rims and the skinny knife with a new blade to handle the PVT's I was lucky to get from Mr Alpink last show. Thanks for hooking me up Al. Dremel with a 4 gear rear axle, some kind of an emery cloth or a filing board.  Here's what you get with only removing the inner portion of the rim. This retains the stock appearence on outside of the rim. Stock on the left and trimmed rims on the right.  Now if you have a tigher body like this 64 Thunderblot you have to get more creative and take the outer portion off the rim too. But not too much cause you will lose the entire spoke area. Here you can see it.  Here it is even narrower to fit the tighter bodies.  The PVT tires, came in 2 sizes, both in the wider application, .5 in and the taller .66 in, so what I did was I cut them as close to the center as I can get with my 1 good eye and voila, 2 tires now house 4 rims waste not what not my mom always says. Now if I can just figure out how to get me some White Letters or Yellow letters on them, I will be in good shape lol!!! |
